7/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper describes some successful techniques and machine modifications that were evaluated for ergonomic considerations and are being used in productive mines to assist with roof screen installation.
-
4/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper presents an overview of recent innovations in support technology for hard rock mining.
-
1/1/2007 - Conference papersNFPA 70E is a generally accepted industry guideline document and can be applied to mining workplaces after an analysis of the mine power system electrical arcing hazards has been completed (and Hazard/Risk Categories determined).
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe ambient diesel particulate matter (DPM) concentrations (at the intakes and exhausts of the mine) was evaluated as an entire vehicle fleet of a stone mine switched from using 35% biodiesel to a water-emulsified fuel (PuriNOx).
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe objective of the Diesel Emissions Evaluation Program (DEEP)-sponsored project at Inco Ltd.'s Stobie Mine was to conduct a long-term field evaluation of diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems available to the underground mining industry. Some of the...
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH research suggest that by incorporating ventilation planning into the mine planning process, using propeller fans, developing new stopping materials and construction methods, and using long pillars to eliminate crosscuts where possible, the ventila...
-
3/27/2006 - Conference papersA methodology to assess the risk for a roof fall is proposed in a preliminary fashion based on engineering judgment acquired from extensive underground stone mine experience and examination of related literature.
-
3/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH is conducting full-scale tests at its Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to evaluate/improve remote mine seal construction technology, focusing on technology to completely close the mine opening, & reporting results from use of grout-based materials.
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersOne focus of ground control research at NIOSH is to incorporate data on weak rock masses into existing design relationships, with an emphasis on updating the span design curve for manned entries and the overbreak curve for longhole entries. Both curves ...
-
6/1/2004 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers have identified a pattern of fracture zone development as an explanation for fracture formation around rectangular openings in underground mines. Two computer modeling codes were used to model different aspects of this pattern.
